It's a variation at an attempt from saying "G-d D--n" without actually saying "G-d D--n".
Other versions I've heard
Dadburn, Dadgum, Gosh Darn, Gosh Dang, or as one oldtimer I knew would say, Dod Gam

It's used to emphasize something in a negative way, usually replacing a cuss word.
Ex: The doggone teacher assigned me too much doggone homework!

It's the polite, non-blasphemous way of saying God-damn.
